Why It Matters

A tremendous amount of attention is dedicated to making workplace environments more diverse and inclusive. Yet, despite concentrated effort, women, people of color, and members of the LGBT community continue to face implicit and explicit barriers in the workplace, and are underrepresented in management and senior leadership positions. Gain insight and inspiration from a panel of experts to hear first-hand why and how staffing your company with diverse, top-tier talent will ensure that your company will have the resources it needs to remain successful.
